Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Nerd, I’m Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
With Neena Thurman, aka Domino slated to appear in Deadpool 2, nerds and non-nerds alike are
scrambling to learn more about the mysterious gal with the power to get lucky.
And with all the press she got for the colour changes from comic to film, we thought it’d
be fun to talk about other versions that differ from the original!
I should say that Domino’s alternate versions aren’t exactly the most diverse-looking
since she’s relatively new, so I’ll spend some time discussing the storylines surrounding
the versions since they look so similar.
If you finish this and want more, check out our video on the Alternate Versions of Deadpool
next!
But first, get ready, it’s time for the Top 10 Alternate Versions of Domino!
Number 10: Copycat Domino.
Strangely, the first version of Domino we ever saw wasn’t actually Domino.
It was Copycat, aka Vanessa from Deadpool, who was a villain in the comics.
She masqueraded as Domino for over a year before we saw the real deal.
So yeah, this version’s a bit weird because she doesn’t look too different from normal,
but like… that’s kinda the point.
She was a copy.
Editor: I figured this would be hard to find so I threw a couple photos in the nerd comments
folder
Number 9: Wild Pack Domino.
Domino joined the Cable’s Wild Pack, which would later become the Six Pack of Earth 616,
quite early in her career.
And she looked a lot different than she does nowadays.
More recent iterations of Domino have been fairly colourless, generally with a black
bodysuit, but early Domino had a whole lotta purple.
She’s generally fairly lighthearted, although you’d be lighthearted too if you got lucky
all the time, and she does a good job of keeping spirits up.
Number 8: Limbo Domino.
This is the Domino from Earth-91240, seen in the Inferno Event, where demons from Limbo
had attacked the Earth, led by Baroness Darkchild.
Domino was part of a force attempting to liberate Darkchild from the demons, that kept failing.
She was eventually captured by Goblin Queen, but was instrumental in inspiring Colossus
to kill his brother Darkchild.
This allowed Colossus, Domino, and Boom-Boom, the only three survivors, to get away safely.
Number 7: Deadpool Game Domino.
Yep, turns out there aren’t a ton of interesting versions of Domino, so I’ll throw in the
one from the game.
She isn’t super different from other versions, she looks pretty darn identical, and has a
similar attitude.
She was pretty darn sexualized in this one though, since the game is from Deadpool’s
point of view, and he’s a frickin creep.
Number 6: Sterilized Domino.
In Exiles #2, we were introduced to Earth-1815.
Here, Operation Zero Tolerance was successful, and the government managed to kill or imprison
all super-humans.
The Exiles made their way to this world, saving Charles Xavier, only to learn that he was
actually the evil leader of terrorist X-Men, one of whom was, you guessed it, Domino.
The imprisonment and forced sterilization didn't make her too pleased with the humans,
so she became a terrorist.
And frankly, I don't really blame her.
Just don’t kill innocents.
Number 5: Ultimate Domino.
This Domino was from a future timeline of Earth-1610, which is considered Earth-2107
for some reason.
In this universe, she was part of the Six Pack team, led by Cable.
Cable believed that they needed to kill Xavier in order to save civilization, but this quest
turned out to be pretty perilous.
So Domino and three of her surviving teammates fled through time, claiming that Cable didn't
pay them enough.
Which gives me wicked Monty Python vibes.
Number 4: Mercs for Money Domino.
On Earth-TRN621, Negasonic Teenage Warhead changed the Terrigen Cloud of the Inhumans,
which normally would kill mutants, so that it would no longer harm mutants.
But the Inhumans saw that as an abomination, and war began between the two groups.
Five years later, we saw Domino working for Deadpool’s Mercs for Money.
She looks pretty similar to other versions, with the modern black suit, and seems to have
the same powers, but this time, it’s personal.
How do we know that?
She chooses to do a job… that DOESN’T PAY!
In her words, sometimes you strap on your guns for cash, sometimes you do it because
it’s what’s right.
Number 3: Movie Domino!
This one had to be in here, because it sparked quite the controversy amongst the more sensitive
fans.
When it came out that Domino would be black with a white spot rather than white with a
black spot, all the usual “SJW Marvel is Cancer wahhh” people came out and, of course,
called racism.
But most people see it as the nonissue that it is, and personally I think she’ll be
awesome.
Really, I’m such a Deadpool fanboy at this point it’ll be hard for me to dislike anything
about Deadpool 2, but I think she’ll be great.
Number 2: Age of Apocalypse Domino.
Yep, this one’s a good ol’ evil version.
Not only is she cool because she’s so evil, but she actually looks really different from
other versions, which is just so nice.
In the Age of Apocalypse, Domino was an assassin working for Apocalypse.
She worked alongside Caliban and Grizzly, and was sent to kill X-Man, the powerful telepathic
mutant.
However, she failed, and X-Man put her in a catatonic state by turning her own terrible
memories against her.
Rekt.
Number 1: Stryfe.
Stryfe is definitely the coolest and most different version on this list, well deserving
of number 1.
In X-Force #4, Cable came face to face with the clone he thought had died: Strife.
This time, however, Strife seemed to be much more reasonable.
Turns out, it’s because it was actually a version of Domino from an alternate future,
on Earth-5014!
Apparently in her timeline, Cable gifted her the armour, and she used a holographic masking
shield to make herself look like the original Stryfe.
She went back in time in order to rebuild the Mutant Liberation Front.
She ended up teaming up with Cable to fight the Skornn, and as you can tell, she looks
awesome.
Although she seemed to have Cable’s abilities, and even though I scoured the comic until
my eyes hurt I could not figure out why.
If anyone knows please let me know because I’m stumped.
Was it the armour?
That’s it for today!
